Low system sounds volume today (radio/calls/navigation volume okay)

So today I could barely hear the blinking sound, the autopilot sound, etc. Radio, calls, navigation volume are fine. Any idea what could've happened?

I'm on 2023.27.6 for a 2018 long range Model 3, and it installed maybe a week or so ago? (can't remember when).

Did someone turn on Joe Mode? Although even joe mode isn't THAT quiet.

Were you using noisy equipment without hearing protection over the weekend?

How do I turn Joe Mode on? And no, I'm very careful with my ears - no noisy equipment, etc.

Edit: also everything else is fine: navigation, radio, calls.

Settings, Safety & Security, then scroll to the bottom to find the on/off toggle for Joe Mode.

Those sounds were louder previously. I'm positive of it. I, too installed an update and all of those sounds became much less audible. Perhaps it is tied to Joe mode, but there were louder before. I've had Joe mode on since I bought the car 3 years ago.

Yes, I agree that they made "Joe Mode" quieter with this update. So much so that I had to turn it off. (I wish they would make it so you could just adjust the volume of those sounds instead of just the choice of too loud or too quiet.
